Hallawell's Roses 
Bloom Profusely the First Year 
There are four commercial grades of roses and HALLAWELL’S ROSES ARE ALL SHLECTED NO. 1 GRADE. 
They are grown under soil and climatic conditions suitable for production of vigorous bushes, which will grow to 
strong sturdy plants. 
Bush roses will bloom freely the first year, while climbing varieties often require two years or more to bloom 
profusely. Bare root bush and climbing var.eties are usually ready for delivery in December, if weather conditions 
permit digging. 
PLANTING—Before planting dormant roses, remove the small branches and cut back the large ones to 5 or 6 
inches, leaving an outside bud at the top. Plant to a depth where the bud-union will be just below the surface 
and pack the so.] well around the roots, leaving no air spaces. Well-rotted manure and bonemeal or other suitable 
fertilizer may be placed on the surface as a mulch after planting. 
SPRAYING—To prevent and control mildew, and to destroy aphis and scale, spray regularly with a fungicide 
and an insecticide. A good combination which may be used together in one spray, is a solution containing 1 table- 
spoon of Acme Kopper Queen and 3 tablespoons of Acme Emo-Nik, to 1 gallon of water. 
PRUNING—Pruning should be done during the dormant season, usually from December to February. In general, 
weak-growing varieties may be pruned more severely than stronger varieties. Pruning operations may be divided 
into three classes: 
Light—Thin out all but 4 to 7 canes, and cut back to 6 or 7 eyes. 
Medium—Thin out all but 4 to 6 canes, and cut back 4 to 5 eyes each. 
Severe—Thin wit all but 8 to 5 canes, and cut these back to leave 3 or 4 eyes on each cane. 
Obviously the more severe pruning reduces the number of flowers, but improves the quality. In shortening canes, 
always cut to an outside bud, and the cut should be 4% inch above the bud. This tends to broaden the bush and 
prevents dense center growth. In removing canes or laterals entirely, use sharp shears and make a smooth, clean 
cut, as close as possible to the older wood from which it springs. A clean cut will heal smoothly, while a stub may 
decay and cause injury. 
Climbing roses require little pruning. At most the laterals on main canes may be shortened to 3 or 4 eyes, and 
other brush removed to keep the top within bounds. Old canes may be replaced by new ones growing from the base 
of the plant, if it seems desirable. 
CUTTING THE FLOWERS—Cutting roses with long stems is desirable, and is in effect summer pruning. Cut 
the stems to within 2 or 3 eyes of the main lateral, and follow the same procedure with the flowers which have been 
permitted to remain on the bush, as soon as they have faded. Also remove small branches and brush growth in July 
when the rose garden is fertilized to improve the fall crop.

HALLAWELL'S TREE ROSES 
An Assortment of the Most Dependable Varieties 

Tree roses are grown by budding a variety into a 
straight standard or trunk. They produce large heads 
of foliage and beautiful long-stemmed blooms, often 
larger and of better quality than the bush. 
Hallawell’s tree roses are of first quality. They are usu- 
ally available during January and early February as 
bare root, and can be packed for shipment at a slight 
charge of 25c per plant to cover cost of packing mate- 
rials, ete. 
We Ship Only Bare Root Stock 
By February 15th they are put into containers in which 
they are available the remainder of the season, or as long 
as the supply lasts. There is an additional charge of
